SHORT TERM...
(Tonight and Thursday)
Warm and dry conditions continue across West Central Texas this
afternoon. South to southwest winds have returned, gusty at times.
These should subside before sunset, with light winds returning
overnight. With these light winds and dry air mass, temperatures
should drop into the low to mid 30s for all areas tonight. Would
normally expect the low lying areas around I-10 to drop even more,
but a veil of high clouds should keep temperatures from bottoming
out like they did earlier today.
Another weak cold front will move across the area Thursday
morning, shifting winds around to the north. It will also bring
slightly cooler temperatures to the area, although in reality it
will only really bring us back down to around normal, with highs
mainly in the upper 50s and lower 60s.
LONG TERM...
(Friday through Wednesday)
Friday will see mostly sunny skies and cool temperatures, with
highs mainly in the mid to upper 50s. An upper level trough moving
out of northern Mexico will swing across the area on Saturday.
Models continue to advertise the best chance of PoPs (20-30%)
across our far southeastern counties with lesser chances further
west. Otherwise, temperatures this weekend will remain generally
in the upper 50s to lower 60s. No significant changes to the
forecast going into the middle of next week as the area will
remain under weak flow aloft. Will maintain a dry forecast with
temperatures warming into the mid to upper 60s by Tuesday.
